One year ago, I stepped into my dream job as President and CEO of IWPR. I can remember all of the excitement, hope, and anticipation I brought with me that day—and every day since then—for the possibilities ahead. I sent my first Message from the President to all of you, beginning with a sentiment that remains true: “I am very proud to be leading IWPR at this critical moment in our nation's history.” 

• Our hugely successful March 2020 Equal Pay Day campaign
• Leading the national conversation on the pandemic-led "shecession"
• IWPR’s brand refresh that introduced a new logo, color scheme, sizzle reel, and web design along with our new tagline “A Just Future Begins with Bold Ideas.” 
• Receiving our largest-ever grant from Pivotal Ventures to launch our Research and Action Hub to accelerate change for women and families.
• Expanding our Board of Directors and adding an Advisory Council of thought leaders and luminaries to help guide our work.

And coming soon to your inboxes, a sneak peek at our ambitious Recovery Report which will layout a roadmap for a gender-equitable recovery that centers women and families.

Nurturing a vision that places IWPR at the forefront of economic policy for women—and ushering it to reality during a pandemic—takes a village. I am grateful to our Board members for providing me this opportunity, to the IWPR research and support staff for their buy-in and hard work, and to our many partners for helping IWPR seize its untapped potential and take its place on the frontlines.

In Peace,
